Downtime, online and getting back in the groove

I’ve been getting orders for the new APO album from a lot of overseas readers. Some orders coming from the US I have passed on and are now being handled by our LA distributors. You can email them at Kewlitco@gmail.com if you are interested.

Orders from Aus, New Zealand, and even some people in the US who want it personally signed by the three of us are handled by yours truly. I will be getting the orders sent out and done by the first week of December. My daughter will be bringing them to Aus and it shall be mailed from there or picked up from our house in Glenwood, NSW.

For those who want the album delivered straight to your computer, click here. Yes, we are online. Some of our old stuff can be found in Itunes but the new album is available through pinoytunes.net.

We are proud of this. It’s an Indie (independent) album. We turned down big labels who were interested because we wanted to record what we wanted to record, period. No to trying to sound ‘radio-friendly’ and all of that commercial crap. We wanted our music to represent us. Believe it or not, we are selling really well despite the fact that we are not in stores. Most people buy their copies during our concerts or they go to the APO office at 129 Esteban Abada, Loyla Heights, QC to get it there. Get your orders in bulk so it’s worth the trip. You can call to reserve at 4275301/4265375.

Some songs in the album are re-recordings of old songs but done in an entirely different way now. The years have given us fresh insights into the songs, thus the arrangements and a lot of the delivery have changed. These are the current ‘live’ versions of the songs now but recorded in the studio. There are about three to four songs that may be entirely new to many of you because we only do them live.The have also never been recorded previously.

Enjoy!

Am back in Manila to do a few shows before Christmas. My recent Sydney stay was definitely ‘downtime’ for me. All I did was sleep, eat, do housework and a little writing and photography. . I only went out a few times and only once to the city. I just needed to catch my breath after APO’s big Araneta show and its attending preparations, promo and rehearsals, a photo exhibit at Megamall, and a short US tour.

It was good to live simply and quitely.

I am writing this from my bed in my room. It is raining outside. My concerts begin tomorrow and it becomes hectic again. I will be visitinf Davao, Cagayan de Oro and Iligan for some concerts too. In between, I hope to do some photography, see old classmates who are coming home for the alumni homecoming, have dinners, discussions with some people whose company I enjoy, do some writing and just have fun.
